Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) is expanding its services beyond clinic walls. NGHS has partnered with LHC Group, an in-home healthcare partner for 350 hospitals around the country, to launch Northeast Georgia Home Health in Gainesville.
The new agency will provide a variety of in-home medical services, making it easier for patients to transition from the hospital to their homes.
“We are thrilled to partner with LHC Group to bridge the gap in NGHS’s continuum of care,” says NGHS President and CEO Carol Burrell. “Providing this in-home care is another way we’re achieving our mission of improving the health of our community in all we do.”
Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, LHC Group has 32,000 employees operating in 35 states and the District of Columbia – reaching 60% of the U.S. population aged 65 and older.
“Our LHC Group family looks forward to expanding our services in the state of Georgia by partnering with a respected, high-quality healthcare organization like Northeast Georgia Health System,” says LHC Group Chairman and CEO Keith Myers. “With our combined talent, experience, and resources, we will be able to provide care to more patients and families in Gainesville and across the region,”
Northeast Georgia Home Health will help patients regain strength and independence, according to a news release announcing the partnership. The service will also offer guidance and support, providing the educational tools and resources patients and families need to make informed healthcare decisions.
